I don't know what is going on, but I'm reading more and more stories like this. Maybe it's a result of our drowning economy that is forcing doctors to make their quotas; sort of like a police officer forced to write parking tickets to make their daily quotas so their unit stays afoat. I know this is a harsh thing to say but the stories are the proof and unfortunately we are at their mercy. You should change your doctor but don't tell them anything about your history. I would let them figure that out on their own. Once I told a doctor I think I have a ulcer, he said yeah you do without conducting one damn test. He was quick to put me on costly medication even though I did not have an ulcer. I think you see my point.
